[HTML][HTML] Predicting kidney graft failure by HLA antibodies: a prospective trial
PI Terasaki, M Ozawa - American Journal of Transplantation, 2004 - Elsevier
HLA antibodies have been shown to be associated with late graft loss of organ transplants in
prior studies. Recently they were even shown to appear years BEFORE rejection.(1) An
international cooperative study of 4763 patients from 36 centers was undertaken to
determine the frequency of HLA antibodies in patients with functional transplants. The
overall frequency of HLA antibodies among kidney transplant recipients was 20.9%; 19.3%
in the liver, 22.8% in the heart, and 14.2% in the lung. Patients treated with CsA-MMF had …
